Mexico is expected to elect its first female president in the country's history
Hundreds of Mexican nationals lined up outside the Consulate General of Mexico's office in Los Angeles on Sunday to cast ballots in an election that will likely see the first female president chosen in the country's history. People began lining up as early as 4 a.m. to cast their ballots at the consulate office in the 2400 block of West 6th Street, near MacArhur Park.
Sheinbaum's chief opponent, Xóchitl Gálvez, an entrepreneur and former senator who represents an opposition coalition, has sought to tap into resentment among the middle and upper classes against the current president, who is known widely by his initials, AMLO. Sunday’s election is the largest in Mexico’s history.
